Cry Me A River Manhuascan

Title : "A Line Drawn Between You and Me" also called as "Rivals In Love" Chapter update: Every Thursday's and Sunday's. Synopsis: At Hua Xing International Business Academy—Shanghai’s most elite MBA college where business empires are bred and reputations are currency—Li Wei has always reigned supreme. Brilliant, composed, and endlessly driven, she’s topped every academic ranking since her first day. As the daughter of a powerful and toxic family, and the heir to the Li Group's corporate throne, failure has never been an option. Especially not in a college where her father sits on the Board of Directors and her family name practically built the east wing. Then comes Zhang Rui. A transfer student from Australia with a charming smile, razor-sharp intellect, and zero interest in playing by legacy rules. He doesn’t know Li Wei—or the unspoken rule that she always comes first. But when his name unexpectedly appears at the top of the student ranking board, knocking Li Wei to second place for the first time ever, a silent war begins. To the world, they’re rivals—cold stares in lecture halls, tense silences during group projects, and a battlefield of wit and pride. But beneath the surface, there’s more than rivalry brewing. Li Wei is drawn to Rui’s warmth, a stark contrast to the emotional emptiness of her world. Rui, in turn, is fascinated by the fortress she’s built around herself—and the vulnerability she hides behind perfect posture and sharp words. As academic pressure builds and their families’ expectations collide, secrets begin to unravel, and the line between hate and longing blurs. In a world where love is a weakness and control is everything, what happens when two rivals fall—not just in rank—but for each other? ---

Five years....hmm..uhhhh...haahaaahaaa...[laughing loudly] ..Finally...finally..it is ready ..I am ready... screaming loudly Indra looked at his hands then towards the glittery glowing greenish blue crystal which had been just a plain black rock for last five years. He had been waiting stuck in a room with transparent walls surrounding him. The only view he could see outside was 'Nothing'..There was nothing ..not even a single non living entity. It was dark all around..but sometimes he could see a pinkish light dispersed in the surrounding which used to disappear after some time. The room he was in had been floating in this darkness unaware of where it was heading just lost in this pin drop silence. Surprisingly he had not been hungry nor tired in these five years. But he felt he would go insane in this loneliness and eternal silence....

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

“Love me for a year and when it is all over, you are free to go” Her words, not his. Her words. So why did it feel like her whole world was crashing as the year neared its end? Olivia Baker’s world ended when her fiance cheated on her with her best friend or was it when she found out the man she loved was only using her to get her father’s company? Was it even crazier that she loved him still?

The River of Spirits doesn't flow with water - it flows with memory. And not all memories are merciful. Kael was born without a past. Or so he believed. But when a monstrous entity rises from the cursed river, something inside him stirs - a whisper, a fragment, a voice that should not exist. Now hunted by forgotten spirits and guided by a shadow that knows his name, Kael must face the guardians of the sigils: each one sealed with a painful memory he once begged to forget. Some memories are lost. Others are buried. And some... were taken from him for a reason. Would you reclaim your soul, even if it meant destroying it again?

"Where were you last night?” “Take off your clothes, and I’ll answer.” “Don’t play games with me. Where did you go?” “We’re not married yet. What’s with the interrogation?” *** Never trust a woman who almost wore your sister’s ring—especially when that woman is Giovanna Lombardi.

Cynthia Fola is a woman who seems to have it all. A celebrated author. A loving wife. A devoted mother. Her books have touched hearts across the world, yet the story she’s never told is the one still bleeding inside her. Six years ago, in the silence of her apartment, she miscarried a child she never told anyone about. Not her friends. Not her therapist. Not even Damson, the man whose name she whispered through the pain. He left her soon after, never knowing what she lost. She never asked why. She just survived. Now living in quiet elegance with her husband Levi and their son Adam, Cynthia has carefully rebuilt a life that looks whole. But when a professional event in Dubai brings Damson back into view — older, bolder, and standing on the very stage she’s meant to own — the walls she’s held up begin to crack. Memories return with force. Her body remembers the ache. Her heart remembers the silence. And in the glow of chandeliers and applause, she is forced to confront the love that left her, the pain that shaped her, and the truth she buried beneath success. Cry Me a River is a lyrical, unflinching portrait of grief, motherhood, marriage, and memory. It is the story of a woman who gave everything to protect someone’s dream, only to nearly die in the process — and what happens when that dream returns, asking for her voice again.

He narrows his green eyes at me as he leans back, folding his arms across his chest, "We're really going to do this again, aren't we?" "What do you mean?" I ask, annoyed. "This little game where you pretend to hate me, when I really know you're just in love with me," he replies, smirking. I scoff and roll my eyes, "In love?" I laugh loudly, "With you? No. I loathe you." Hating Jordan Gallagher was just so easy... "It's not that I don't believe in love. I just don't think it's meant for people like me."- Jordan Gallagher “Sometimes the people who hurt us the worst are the ones we need the most.”- Elyse Gates

For Arata Itsuki, life is a movie where he's just a background character. His mission is simple: be invisible, graduate peacefully, and never get involved in the drama of the main characters. He is a master observer, and his primary subject is Aizawa Nanami—the goddess of perfection, the school idol whose life seems flawless. Their worlds were never meant to intersect, save for one anomaly: the cold hatred Aizawa Nanami always directs at him, a mystery too exhausting for Arata to solve. But his gray routine is shattered when he witnesses the tragedy that takes Nanami's life right before his eyes. That horror should have been the end of an ordinary day, but for Arata, it was just the beginning. He wakes up on the same day. Again, and again. Trapped in a prison of time, Arata soon realizes the only rule in this loop of fate: the day resets every time Aizawa Nanami meets a tragic end. Arata, the apathetic background character, is now forced to be the hero in a story that isn't his. The problem is, how do you save someone who wants nothing to do with you? Someone whose gaze could freeze your blood? With each repetition, Arata begins to see the cracks behind Nanami's perfect mask. He soon understands that the accident was no coincidence, but the climax of an unseen suffering hidden behind the goddess's smile. To break the cycle, Arata must become not only her protector, but also a detective, unraveling a past trauma that is the root of Nanami's hatred for him. Faced with a repeating destiny, Arata must find the answer to an impossible question: IF I DIE TOMORROW, WILL YOU CRY TODAY?
